The Astros designated Contreras for assignment Thursday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Astros sent Contreras down to Triple-A on Sunday, and he'll now be stripped of his spot on the 40-man roster in favor of Enyel De Los Santos, who signed a major-league deal with the team on Thursday. Contreras carries a 6.75 ERA and 1.58 WHIP through 12 innings in the big leagues this season, but his 3.34 ERA in the minors may be enough for another team to take a chance on him.

The Astros recalled Contreras from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Just 24 hours after being optioned to Triple-A, Contreras will return to Houston to act as the roster replacement for Spencer Arrighetti, who was sent to the IL on Tuesday with a broken thumb. Contreras has given up 11 earned runs in just 11.1 career regular-season innings in the majors, so he'll almost certainly be limited to low-leverage situations for now.

Contreras was sent to the minors Monday, but he's set to rejoin the big club a day later with Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) headed to the injured list. The Astros will make the transaction official shortly before Tuesday's game against the Mariners. The right-handed Contreras has posted an 8.44 ERA and 1.69 WHIP in 5.1 innings this season and will operate in low-leverage spots.

Contreras earned a spot on the Astros' Opening Day roster, but across four bullpen appearances he's logged an 8.44 ERA and 1.69 WHIP in 5.1 innings. He'll look to regain his form in the minors while Logan Vanwey gets the call-up from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Contreras is expected to be optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Contreras will head to Triple-A after posting a 9.00 ERA and 1.50 WHIP with six strikeouts over six innings in five appearances with the Astros so far this season. The transaction will make space for right-hander Logan VanWey to join the team in Seattle and potentially make his major-league debut.

The Astros optioned Contreras to Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Contreras had cruised through 4.1 scoreless innings through his first four MLB appearances, but he'll now be sent back to Triple-A after allowing six earned runs in just 1.2 frames Friday. It's possible he returns to Houston if he gets back to putting up numbers similar to his 1.40 ERA in Triple-A, but for now the Astros will call up Kaleb Ort to replace Contreras in the bullpen.
